Description:
This V8 Lights a pack of cigarettes destined for Argentina, produced by the local tobacco industry.
Packaging design – blue with a light beige central stripe, which incorporates a gold "V8" logo and a decorative crest at the top.
Side surface marked with text “"20 cigarillos rubios - Industria Argentina"”, above – original excise sticker „"Código Nº 8 - CIGARRILLOS"“ with a note IMP. INT. LEY 24.674.
This edition was aimed at those with a more subdued taste – a typical Lights version that retained the same classic visual style as the red V8 variant, just with a changed tonal design.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: Medium to high, especially when the packaging is in excellent condition with a full excise sticker. This "Lights" version is less common than the standard red model, so it has additional collectible value.
– Condition assessment: Excellent – the cellophane is intact, the sticker is undamaged, the surface is smooth and without defects.
– Historical significance: This version of V8 Lights reflects the attempts of late local Argentine cigarette "premium" lines to create a light, internationally appealing image.
